05 Airman Gym Spanking, BR-2

A story of a muscular RAF gymnast being trained by a Navy instructor 

who is a merciless disciplinarian until the worm turns

There is a catalogue thumbnail sheet for the set (below) which tells us there are 30 pictures in all and gives their sequence, The mitchmen Royale Archive has all 30 pictures in the set.

This set came to me from the British Photographer 'Originals' collection. It doesn't appear in the 1960 Royale catalogue I have, nor have I ever found any trace of it on the internet or in the beefcake publications Royale commonly used. It's possible it was never formally published or was perhaps 'pulled' for political reasons (see Peter George's career with Royale in particular PUN-3 and BR-2) . 

The official title is also unknown to me, Sailor Al called this series 'Gym' and I've also seen it called 'Navy Gym' which might conceivably been the original title. On the thumbnail sheet below, it's bafflingly labelled '2-BR'. Royale labels usually involved the model's initials (which doesn't fit with Peter George) or else abbreviated the title (as in NARO - Navy Romeo). 'Bullies Retribution' might fit here but that's just a guess.  It's implied that there's also a 1-BR but I haven't seen it. 

(The discovery of Hussar Catalogue 2 sheds some light on this puzzle).

Since the athlete's vest in this series bears a badge with an eagle similar in style to that used by the RAF, I have taken it to mean that he is playing an airman and used that as my own, more descriptive title, for the series.

It's interesting to see that a previous owner of this sheet seems to have picked out 

his favourite pictures - 5, 12, 16, 17, 23, 25 and 26. Good choice!
